Dad's Recovery

Dad fell from a ladder, he was really hurt. Our lives changed forever that day. This is his story, this is our story.

A "Home" Coming

Saturday Dad came home. Well not "home" as we knew it- that is now home to someone new. Yup, it is officially sold. Sad thing is the guy that owned it (Mom & Dad were renting) sold it for much less than what he offered to sell it to Mom and Dad for- that seemed wrong but oh well (one person's loss is another's gain sometimes).

Anyway, Mom lives with Art now so to Dad "home" is where his wife is. We're hoping to build a lil' place for them to stay eventually on Art's land but there have been some issues on the financial front that are proving to be pretty big obstacles. Right now I'm guessing we need to get a better idea about Dad's long-term recovery before we rush to make more changes. That and other financial concerns for Mom and Dad are on the forefront of issues to contend with.

But as I was saying, Mom arranged for Handitran to bring/pickup Dad. It worked out great. We all enjoyed seeing Dad and while it would have been nice if he was coming home for good, we're grateful he's still here with us and still making progress. The kids, the grandchildren, seemed very happy that Grandpa was there. Jack got out his medical supplies (a child's Dr. set) and went to work on Grandpa infact.

I wanted to import some pictures but my connections at home or the blog site is having some problems. 4 hours later and I only managed to download 2 pictures into my family blog- the MikeKristyKoleJack one. We'll get the other pictures added soon.

Coincidentally this family "reunion" was also Karl's Birthday- Happy Birthday Big Bro.

I wish I could have been there. I miss everyone so much. Maybe the next time I come in town we could arrange to do it again.
Happy Birthday Bro! Hope you had a great day.

Love all of you!

We miss you too. I'll post pictures soon, hopefully the site won't keep timing out.

I never managed to personally say how sorry I was to hear about your dad's accident. I'm praying for the best.
